U.S. Secretary of Agriculture Brooke Rollins announced on Tuesday that egg prices nationwide have begun falling following the Trump administration’s efforts to boost domestic supply. According to Rollins, following measures implemented late last month, the average cost of a dozen eggs has decreased by nearly $2.00.
“A good piece of news we just got in the last day or two is that the average cost of a dozen eggs has now gone down $1.85 since we announced our plan about a week and a half ago,” Rollins said in a video posted to X (formerly Twitter). However, the Agriculture Secretary did warn that prices could creep back up slightly as the country heads into the Easter holiday and demand increases.
In a recent op-ed, Rollins detailed the administration’s strategy to tackle egg prices, which climbed significantly under former President Joe Biden following mass culls of chickens to combat avian flu outbreaks and inflationary pressure. “This five-point strategy won’t erase the problem overnight, but we’re confident that it will restore stability to the egg market over the next three to six months,” Rollins wrote, adding: “This approach will also ensure stability over the next four years and beyond.”
Notably, the Trump administration is set to invest around a billion dollars in stabilizing prices, with the money largely going toward combatting bird flu and supporting vaccine research.
